This volume presents the proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Movement, Health and Exercise 2016 (MoHE2016). The conference was jointly organized by the Biomedical Engineering Department and Sports Centre, University of Malaya. It was held in Malacca, from 28-30 September 2016. MoHE 2016 provided a good opportunity for speakers and participants to actively discuss about recent developments in a wide range of topics in the area of sports and exercise science. In total, 83 presenters and 140 participants took part in this successful conference.
This book presents cutting-edge research and developments in the field of biomedical engineering, with a special emphasis on achievements by Asian research groups. It covers machine learning and computational modeling methods applied to biomedical and clinical research, advanced methods for biosignal processing and bioimaging, MEMS applications, and advances in biosensors. Further topics include biomechanics, prosthetics, orthotics and tissue engineering. Other related (bio-) engineering applications, such as in ecosystem development, water quality assessment, and material research, are also covered. Gathering the proceedings of the 6th Kuala Lumpur International Conference on Biomedical Engineering, held online on July 28-29, 2021 from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, the book is intended to provide researchers and professionals with extensive and timely information on the state-of-the-art research and applications in biomedical engineering, and to promote interdisciplinary and international collaborations.
This book discusses the latest findings on ensuring employees’ safety, health, and welfare at work. It combines a range of disciplines – e.g. work physiology, health informatics, safety engineering, workplace design, injury prevention, and occupational psychology – and presents new strategies for safety management, including accident prevention methods such as performance testing and participatory ergonomics. The book, which is based on the AHFE 2017 International Conference on Safety Management and Human Factors, held on July 17–21, 2017, in Los Angeles, California, USA, provides readers, including decision makers, professional ergonomists and program managers in government and public authorities, with a timely snapshot of the state of the art in the field of safety, health, and welfare management. It also addresses agencies such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), as well as other professionals dealing with occupational safety and health.
This volume contains the papers of the 1st Workshop IFToMM for Sustainable Development Goals (I4SDG), held online on November 25-26, 2021. The main topics of the workshop include the aspects of theory, design and practice of mechanism and machine science which are instrumental in reaching a sustainable development, such as: biomechanical engineering, sustainable energy systems, robotics and mechatronics, green tribology, computational kinematics, dynamics of machinery, industrial applications of mechanism design, gearing and transmissions, multibody dynamics rotor dynamics, vibrations, humanitarian engineering, and socio-technical systems for sustainable and inclusive development. The contributions, which were selected by means of a rigorous international peer-review process, highlight numerous exciting ideas that will spur novel research directions and foster multidisciplinary collaboration among different specialists, demonstrating that medical and service robotics will drive the technological and societal change in the coming decades.
This book adopts the managerial perspective to the study of smart cities. As such, this book is a necessary addition to the existing body of literature on smart cities. The chapters included in this book prove the case that transformation of cities to smart cities is a function of effective and efficient management practices implemented at diverse levels of smart cities. While advances in information and communication technology (ICT) are crucial, it is the ability to apply ICT consciously and efficiently that drives the transformation of cities to smart cities in a manner conducive to cities’ sustainability and resilience. The book covers three sets of interconnected topics: Management and decision-making for urban design and infrastructure development Management and decision-making in context of smart cities development Ways of promoting and ensuring participation, representation and co-creation in smart cities These three groups of topics offer a great opportunity to acquire a clear, direct, and practice-driven knowledge and understanding of how effective management allows ICT-enhanced tools and applications to change smart cities, possibly making them smarter.
Buku ini merupakan sebuah koleksi makalah bertema yang cuba memperlihatkan kepetingan etika dalam negara. Makalah yang dimuatkan merangkumi aspek asas berkaitan dengan etika seperti pengertian etika dan kepentingannya dalam pembangunan manusia. Turut dimuatkan ialah keadaan pembangunan yang gagal memenuhi tuntutan beretika lantas mewujudkan masalah dalam kehidupan masyarakat sama ada di kawasan bandar mahupun luar bandar. Walaupun tidak banyak makalah berkaitan kesan pembangunan yang kurang ataupun tidak beretika, namun penyunting berandaian bahawa kesemua makalah yang dimuatkan dalam buku ini memadai bagi menggambarkan masalah pembangunan yang berlaku disebabkan oleh isu etika.
